Grund (male half-orc thug) is the village simpleton. He ekes out a living by making pickles in vats at the end of the field.
Grund is a happy, dim-witted sort. The other vendors all pilfer from his open pickling vats, and he cheerfully lets them. He’s easy comic relief when encountered here, but the adventurers meet him in more unpleasant circumstances in area T3 of the Tomb of Moving Stones (see chapter 6).
